A day care worker is facing child abuse charges after deputies say surveillance video captured her aggressively handling three toddlers. Deputies received a complaint on Tuesday about 26-year-old Jamie Smithmyer where a witness told them they had seen Smithmyer abusing a child at a day care facility in Venice. The following day, deputies interviewed the director of the day care, who said Smithmyer had been fired and the incident was captured on video. She remains in custody at the Sarasota County Jail without bond.
